7 Alarms

7.1 Alarm Introduction


This chapter describes alarm functions and alarm settings.

7.2 Alarm Safety Information

WARNING
• A potential hazard can exist if different alarm presets and default configuration settings are used for
the same or similar equipment in the same care area, for example an intensive care unit or cardiac
operating room.
• If the monitor is connected to the central monitoring system (CMS) or other monitors, alarms can be
presented and controlled remotely. Remote suspension, inhibition, or reset of monitor alarms via
the CMS or other monitors may cause a potential hazard. For more information, see the operator’s
manuals for the CMS and the other monitors.
• The monitors in the care area may each have different alarm settings to suit different patients.
Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate for the patient before starting the monitoring.
Always make sure that necessary alarm limits are active and set according to the patient's clinical
condition.
• Setting alarm limits to extreme values may cause the alarm system to become ineffective. For
example, setting the SpO2 high alarm limit to 100%, is equivalent to switching the alarm off.
• When the alarm sound is switched off, the monitor gives no alarm tones even if a new alarm occurs.
Be careful when considering to switch off the alarm sound. When the alarms are off or while alarm
audio is paused either temporarily or indefinitely, observe the patient frequently.
• When monitoring patients that are not continuously attended by a clinical operator, properly
configure the alarm system and adjust alarm settings as per the patient's condition.
• Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to a
low level may result in a hazard to the patient.

7.3 Understanding the Alarms

7.3.1 Alarm Categories


The monitor has two different types of alarms: physiological alarms and technical alarms.
■ Physiological alarms are triggered by patient measurement exceeding the parameter limits, or by an
abnormal patient conditions.
■ Technical alarms are triggered by an electrical, mechanical, connectivity, or other monitor abnormal
operation, or by failure of a sensor or component. Technical alarm conditions may also be caused when an
algorithm cannot classify or interpret the available data.
Apart from the physiological and technical alarms, the monitor can also prompt with some messages describing
the system status or patient status.

7.3.2 Alarm Priorities


By severity, the alarms are classified into the following priority levels:
■ High priority alarms: indicates a life threatening situation or a severe device malfunction. High priority
alarms require an immediate response.
■ Medium priority alarms: indicates abnormal vital signs or a device malfunction. Medium priority alarms
require a timely response.

7-1
■ Low priority alarms: indicate a discomfort condition, a device malfunction, or an improper operation. Low
priority alarms require you to be aware of this condition.
■ Messages: provides additional information on the patient or the equipment.

7.3.3 Alarm Indicators


When an alarm occurs, the monitor indicates it through visual or audible alarm indications. For more
information, see the following table.

Alarm Indicator High Priority Medium Low Priority Message Comments

NOTE
• When multiple alarms of different priority levels occur simultaneously, the monitor selects the
highest priority alarm to light the alarm lamp and issue the alarm tone.
• When multiple alarms of different priority levels occur simultaneously and should be displayed in
the same area, the monitor only displays the messages from the highest priority alarm.
• When multiple alarms of the same priority levels occur simultaneously and should be displayed in
the same area, all the alarm messages are displayed cyclically.
• Some physiological alarms, such as Asystole, are exclusive. They have identical alarm tones and
alarm lights with normal high level physiological alarms, but their alarm messages are displayed
exclusively. That is, when an exclusive physiological alarm and a normal high level physiological
alarm are triggered simultaneously, only exclusive physiological alarm message will be displayed.

7-2
7.3.4 Alarm Status Symbols
Apart from the alarm indicators as described in 7.3.3 Alarm Indicators, the monitor uses the following symbols

8 Monitoring ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT

8.1 ECG Introduction


The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it on the monitor as
waveforms and numerics. ECG monitoring provides 3-, 5-, 6-, and 12-lead ECG monitoring, ST-segment analysis,
arrhythmia analysis, QT/QTc measurements, and optional 12-lead resting analysis via the Glasgow algorithm.
The associated monitor incorporating ST analysis has the ST label.
The associated monitor incorporating 12-lead has the 12-lead label.

8.2 ECG Safety Information

WARNING
• This equipment is not intended for direct cardiac application.
• Ensure that the conductive parts of ECG electrodes and associated connectors, including the neutral
electrode, do not come into contact with any other conductive parts including earth.
• Always use defibrillation-proof ECG cables during defibrillation.
• Do not touch the patient, or metal devices connected to the patient, during defibrillation.
• To minimize the hazard of burns during high-frequency surgical procedures, ensure that the
monitor’s cables and transducers never come into contact with the electrosurgery unit (ESU).
• To minimize the hazard of burns during use of high-frequency surgical unit (ESU), the ECG
electrodes should not be located between the surgical site and the ESU return electrode.

CAUTION
• Only use parts and accessories specified in this manual. Follow the instructions for use and adhere to
all warnings and cautions.
• Periodically inspect the electrode application sites to ensure skin integrity. If the skin quality
changes, replace the electrodes or change the application site.
• Interference from an ungrounded instrument near the patient or electrosurgery usage can induce
noise and artifact into the waveforms.

8.4 Preparing for ECG Monitoring

8.4.1 Preparing the Patient Skin


Proper skin preparation is necessary to ensure good signal quality at the electrode sites, as the skin is a poor
conductor of electricity. To properly prepare the skin, choose flat areas and then follow this procedure:
1. Shave hair from skin at chosen electrode sites.
2. Gently rub skin surface at sites to remove dead skin cells.
3. Thoroughly cleanse the site with a mild soap and water solution. We do not recommend using ether or
pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the resistance.
4. Dry the skin completely before applying electrodes.

8.4.2 Applying Electrodes and Connecting the Patient


To connect ECG cables, follow this procedure:
1. Check that electrode packages are intact and the electrodes are not past the expiry date. Ensure the
electrode gel is moist. If you are using snap electrodes, attach the snaps to the electrodes before placing
electrodes on the patient.
2. Place the electrodes on the prepared sites. Ensure that all electrodes have good skin contact.
3. Connect the leadwires to the patient cable if not already connected.
4. Plug the patient cable into the ECG connector.

CAUTION
• Never mix patient electrode types or brands. This may lead to impedance mismatches issues.

NOTE
• When applying the electrodes, avoid bony area, obvious layers of fat, and major muscles. Muscle
movement can result in electrical interference. Applying electrodes on major muscles, for example

8-2
on muscles of the thorax, may lead to erroneous arrhythmia alarms due to excessive muscle
movement.

8.4.3 Lead Wire Color Code


The following table lists the color coding of leadwires for AHA standards:

Lead Label Color

Chest 6 V6 Brown/Violet

8.4.4 ECG Electrode Placements


In this section, electrode placement is illustrated using the AHA naming convention.

8.4.4.1 3-leadwire Electrode Placement


The following is the electrode configuration when a 3-leadwire cable is
used: RA LA

■ RA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the right


shoulder.
■ LA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the left
shoulder.
■ LL placement: on the left lower abdomen. LL

8.4.4.2 5-leadwire and 6-leadwire Electrode Placement


The following is the electrode configuration for a 5-leadwires cables:
■ RA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the right RA LA

shoulder.
■ LA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the left
shoulder. V

■ RL placement: on the right lower abdomen.


LL
■ LL placement: on the left lower abdomen.
RL
■ V placement: on the chest in any of the V1 to V6 positions.

For 6-leadwire placement, you can use the position for the 5 -
leadwire placement but with two chest leads. The two chest leads (Va
and Vb) can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions. For

8-3
more information, see 8.4.4.3 Chest Electrode Placement. The Va and Vb lead positions are configurable. For more
information, see 8.5.3.3 Changing Va and Vb Labels.

8.4.4.3 Chest Electrode Placement


The chest electrode can be placed at the following positions:
■ V1 placement: on the fourth intercostal space to the right of
the sternum. V6

■ V2 placement: on the fourth intercostal space to the left of


V1
the sternum. V5

■ V3 placement: midway between the V2 and V4 electrode V4


positions.
■ V4 placement: on the fifth intercostal space at the left
midclavicular line.
V2 V3
■ V5 placement: on the left anterior axillary line, horizontal with
the V4 electrode position.
■ V6 placement: on the left midaxillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode position.
■ V3R-V6R placement: on the right side of the chest in positions corresponding to those on the left.

NOTE
• For the 5-leadwire and 6-leadwire placement, place the precordial electrode according to the
physician's preference.

8.4.4.4 10-leadwire Electrode Placement


12-lead ECG uses 10 electrodes, which are placed on the patient’s four limbs
and chest. The limb electrodes should be placed on the limb extremities and
the chest electrodes placed according to the physician’s preference. The figure
at right illustrates the conventional 10-leadwire electrode placement.

8.4.4.5 Lead Placement for Surgical Patients


The surgical site should be taken into consideration when placing electrodes on a surgical patient. For example,
for open-chest surgery, the chest electrodes can be placed on the lateral chest or back. To reduce artifacts and
interference from electrosurgical units, you can place the limb electrodes close to the shoulders and lower
abdomen and the chest electrodes on the left side of the mid-chest. Do not place the electrodes on the upper
arm. Otherwise, the ECG waveform will be very small.

8-4
WARNING
• To reduce the hazard of burns during use of electrosurgical units (ESU), the ECG electrodes should
not be located between the surgical site and the ESU return electrode.
• Never entangle the ESU cable and the ECG cable together.
• When using ESU, never place ECG electrodes near the grounding plate of the ESU, as this can cause a
lot of interference on the ECG signal.
• When using electrosurgery units, ensure proper contact of the ESU return electrode to the patient to
avoid burns at monitor measurement sites. Also ensure that the ESU return electrode is near the
operating area.

8.4.5 Choosing the ECG Lead Type


To choose ECG lead type, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set Lead Set according to the lead type you are going to use. The default lead type is Auto. In this case, the
monitor automatically detects the lead type.

8.4.6 Checking Paced Status


It is important to correctly set the patient’s paced status before you start monitoring ECG. The paced symbol
is displayed when Paced is set to Yes. Pace pulse markers “|” are displayed on each ECG waveform whenever a
pacer signal is detected. If Paced is set to No or unspecified, the symbol will be shown in the ECG waveform
area.
To change the paced status, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Pacer tab.
3. Set Paced to Yes or No.

You can also change the patient’s paced status from the Patient Management dialog. For more information, see
5.2.1 Entering the Patient Management Dialog.
If you did not set the paced status, the monitor issues a prompt tone when pace pulse is detected. At the same
time, the paced symbol flashes and the message Please check if the patient has a pacemaker? appears in
the ECG waveform area. Check and set the patient’s paced status.

WARNING
• For paced patients, you must set Paced to Yes. If it is incorrectly set to No, the monitor could mistake
a pace pulse for a QRS complex and fail to alarm when the ECG signal is too weak. On ventricular
paced patients, episodes of ventricular tachycardia may not always be detected. Do not rely entirely
upon the system’s automated arrhythmia detection algorithm.
• False low heart rate or false asystole alarms may result with certain pacemakers because of
pacemaker artifacts, such as electrical overshoot of the pacemaker overlapping the true QRS
complexes.
• Do not rely entirely on rate meter alarms when monitoring patients with pacemakers. Always keep
these patients under close surveillance.
• The auto pacer recognition function is not applicable to pediatric patients, neonatal patients, and
patients with NMT monitoring.

8-5
8.4.7 Enabling Pacer Rejection
The pace pulse rejection function is disabled by default. To enable this function, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Pacer tab.
3. Switch on Pacer Reject.

NOTE
• When pace pulses are detected, the pace pulse markers “|” are shown on the ECG waveforms. Pacer
Rejection setting has no impact on the display of pace pulse markers “|”.
• You can switch on pacer rejection only when Paced is set to Yes. If Paced is set to no, the Pacer Reject
function is disabled.

For optimal ECG analysis, select leads with the following characteristics:
■ The QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic.
■ The QRS complex should be tall and narrow.
■ The P waves and T waves should be less than 0.2mV.

CAUTION
• Ensure that you have selected the optimal leads with the best waveform amplitude and the highest
signal-to-noise ratio. Selecting the optimal leads is important for detecting beats, classifying beats,
and detecting ventricular fibrillation.

8.5.3.2 Changing ECG Waveform Size


If the ECG waveform is too small or clipped, you can change its size by selecting the appropriate Gain setting. To
do so, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Select ECG gain to set the size of each ECG waveform.
4. If more than three ECG waveforms are displayed, select the More Leads tab, and then select ECG Gain to
change the sizes of other ECG waveforms. If you select Auto, the monitor automatically adjusts the size of
the ECG waveforms for all the leads.

8.5.3.3 Changing Va and Vb Labels


When monitoring ECG with 6-leadwire. You can change the labels of Va and Vb leads. To do so, follow this
procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set Va and Vb according to the locations of the Va and Vb electrode sites. Default settings are Va and Vb.

8.5.3.4 Changing ECG Waveform Speed


To change ECG waveform speed, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set the desired Speed.

8.5.3.5 Setting the ECG Filter


To set the appropriate ECG waveform filter mode, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set Filter.

◆ Diagnostic: use when diagnostic quality ECG is required. The unfiltered ECG waveform is displayed so
that changes such as R-wave notching or discrete elevation or depression of the ST segment are
visible.
◆ Monitor: use under normal monitoring conditions.
◆ Surgery: use when the signal is distorted by high frequency or low frequency interference. High
frequency interference usually results in large amplitude spikes making the ECG signal look irregular.
Low frequency interference usually leads to wandering or rough baseline. The surgery filter reduces

8-7
artifacts and interference from electrosurgical units. Under normal measurement conditions,
selecting Surgery may suppress certain features or details of the QRS complexes.
◆ ST: recommended for ST monitoring.

8.5.3.6 Switching On or Off the Notch Filter


The notch filter removes the line frequency interference. To switch on or off the notch filter, follow this
procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Switch on or off Notch Filter.

NOTE
• The notch filter can only be switched on or off when ECG Filter is set to Diagnostic. In other filter
modes, the notch filter is always on.

8.5.4 Disabling the Smart Lead Off Function


The monitor provides the smart lead off function. When the lead corresponding to the first ECG wave gets
detached but another lead is available, the monitor automatically switches to the available lead to recalculate
heart rate, and to analyze and detect arrhythmias. When you reconnect the detached leads, the monitor
automatically switches back to the original lead.
The smart lead off function is enabled by default. To disable this function, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Switch off Smart Lead.

8.5.5 Adjusting the QRS Volume


To adjust the QRS volume, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set QRS Volume.

When valid SpO2 measurements are available, the monitor adjusts the pitch of QRS tone based on the SpO2
value.

8.5.6 Adjusting the Minimum QRS Detection Threshold


To avoid false asystole alarm due to low R wave amplitude, and to avoid tall T waves and P waves being mistaken
for QRS complexes, the monitor provides a means to manually adjust the minimum QRS detection threshold.
To adjust the minimum QRS detection threshold, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab and set Filter to Monitor.
3. Select the QRS Threshold tab.
4. Select up or down arrow buttons to adjust the minimum threshold for QRS detection. Selecting Default
resets the QRS threshold to the default value (0.16 mV).

CAUTION
• The setting of the QRS detection threshold can affect the sensitivity for arrhythmia, ST, QT/QTc
detection, and heart rate calculation.

8-8
• If the QRS amplitude is low, the monitor might not be able to detect the beats and false asystole calls
may occur.

NOTE
• The minimum QRS detection threshold can only be adjusted when the ECG filter is set to Monitor.

8.6 Monitoring Arrhythmia


Arrhythmia monitoring is intended for adult and pediatric patients.

8.6.1 Arrhythmia Safety Information

WARNING
• Heart rate reading may be affected by cardiac arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely on heart rate alarms
when monitoring patients with arrhythmias. Always keep these patients under close surveillance.
• The arrhythmia analysis program is intended to detect ventricular arrhythmias and atrial
fibrillation. It is not designed to detect all the atrial or supraventricular arrhythmias. It may
incorrectly identify the presence or absence of an arrhythmia. Therefore, a physician must analyze
the arrhythmia information with other clinical findings.
• Atrial fibrillation (Afib) detection function is not intended for pediatric and neonatal patients.

CAUTION
• Since the arrhythmia detection algorithm sensitivity and specificity are less than 100%, it is possible
for false arrhythmias to be detected and true arrhythmia events to not be detected. The possibility
increases when the signal is noisy.
• The ECG size and minimum QRS detection threshold settings affect arrhythmia detection and heart
rate calculation sensitivity.
• If QRS amplitude is low, the monitor might be unable to calculate heart rate and thus create false
asystole calls. During the learning phase of the algorithm, arrhythmia detection may not be
available. It is recommended to closely monitor patient condition during, and for several minutes
after, the learning phase to allow the algorithm to reach optimal detection performance.

To set the required thresholds for PVC-related alarms, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Arrhythmia tab → select the More Threshold tab.
3. Enter the password if required. For more information, refer to 25.13.3 Selecting Password for User
Authentication.
Adjust V-Tach PVCs, V-Tach Rate, V-Brady PVCs, and V-Brady Rate as necessary to set the thresholds for the
desired PVC-related alarms.
The following figure illustrates the conditions under which PVC alarms will be generated if V-Tach PVCs is set to
6, V-Tach Rate is set to 130, V-Brady PVCs is set to 5, and V-Brady Rate is set to 40.

If both V-Tach PVCs and V-Tach Rate are greater than or equal to the limits, a V-Tach alarm is generated.
■ If the number of consecutive PVCs is lower than the V-Tach PVCs limit (6) but greater than 2, and PVC rate is
greater or equal to the V-Tach Rate limit (130), a Nonsus V-Tach alarm is generated.
■ If the number of consecutive PVCs is greater than or equal to the V-Brady PVCs limit (5), and PVC rate is
lower than the V Brady limit (40), a Vent Brady alarm is generated.
■ If both the V-Brady PVCs and V-Brady Rate are lower than the limits, but V-Brady PVCs is greater than 2, a
Run PVCs alarm is generated.
■ If the V-Brady PVCs and V-Brady Rate are greater than or equal to limits, but the Vent rate is is lower than V-
Tach Rate (130), a Vent Rhythm alarm is generated.

8.6.5 Intelligent Arrhythmia Alarm


Normally, an arrhythmia alarm is presented when an alarm condition is detected. However, there are certain
situations that can inhibit audible and visible alarm indications even though an alarm condition was detected.
For more information, see 8.6.5.1 Arrhythmia Alarm Chains and 8.6.5.2 Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Rules.

8 - 12
8.6.5.1 Arrhythmia Alarm Chains
If multiple alarms overlap, announcing all of the detected alarm conditions would be confusing, and a more
serious condition might be overlooked. So arrhythmia alarms are prioritized by alarm "chains".

8.7 ST Segment Monitoring


ST segment analysis is intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.To use this feature, the MPM must be
labeled to support ST analysis, see 8.1 ECG Introduction.

8.7.1 ST Safety Information

WARNING
• ST segment deviation values may be affected by such factors as certain drugs or metabolic and
conduction disturbances.
• ST deviation is often calculated at a fixed offset from the J point. Changes in heart rate may affect ST.
• The significance of ST segment changes needs to be determined by a physician.
• This monitor provides information regarding changes in ST deviation levels. The clinical significance
of the ST level change information should be determined by a physician.

8.7.2 Enabling ST Monitoring


The ST monitoring function is disabled by default. Before you start ST monitoring, enable the ST function. To do
so, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the ST tab→ select the Setup tab.
3. Switch on ST Analysis.

Reliable ST monitoring cannot be ensured under the following situations:


■ You are unable to get a lead that is not noisy.
■ Arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, which may cause an irregular baseline.
■ The patient is continuously ventricularly paced.
■ The patient has left bundle branch block.
In these cases, you may consider switching off ST monitoring.

8.7.3 Displaying ST Deviation Numerics


To display ST numerics, follow this procedure:
1. Access Tile Layout by either of the following ways:
◆ Select the Screen Setup quick key → select the Tile Layout tab.
◆ Select Main Menu quick key → from the Display column select Tile Layout.
2. Click the numeric area where you want to display the ST numerics, and then select ECG → ST.

8 - 14
The ST parameter display area is configured differently according to the ECG cable used:
■ When you are using the 3-lead ECG leadwires, a separate ST numeric area does not appear on the display.
The ST deviation value displays in the ECG numeric area.
■ When you are using the 5-lead ECG leadwires, the ST numeric area displays 7 ST deviation values: ST-I, ST-II,
ST-III, ST-aVR, ST-aVL, ST-aVF, ST-V.
■ When you are using the 6-lead ECG leadwires, the ST numeric area displays 8 ST deviation values: ST-I, ST-II,
ST-III, ST-aVR, ST-aVL, ST-aVF, ST-Va, ST-Vb.
■ When you are using the 12-lead ECG leadwires, the ST numeric area displays12 ST deviation values: ST-I, ST-
II, ST-III, ST-aVR, ST-aVL, ST-aVF, ST-V1, ST-V2, ST-V3, ST-V4, ST-V5, ST-V6.

To display these markers, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the ST tab→ select the Setup tab.
3. Switch on Show Markers.

8.7.9 Adjusting ST Measurement Points

8.7.9.1 About ST Point, ISO Point, and J Point


The ST deviation value for each beat is the potential difference between the isoelectric (ISO) point and the ST
point. The ISO point provides the baseline. The ST point is located between the J point and the start of the T-
wave. The J point is the end of the QRS complex. As the ST point is at a fixed distance away from the J point (40,
60, 80 etc msec), manually adjusting the J point helps you correctly position the ST point.

(1) (2) (3) T (4)


P

(1) ISO point (2) J point (3) ST point (4) ST deviation

8.7.9.2 Setting ST Point, ISO Point, and J Point

CAUTION
• If Auto Adjust is Off, or if the patient's heart rate or ECG morphology changes significantly, the ISO
and ST points need to be occasionally adjusted because this may affect the QT interval and thus the
location of the ST point. False ST segment depression or elevation may occur if the isoelectric point
or the ST point is incorrectly set.
• Always ensure that the locations of ST points are appropriate for the patient.

To set the ST point, ISO point, and J point, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the ST tab→ select the Adjust tab.
3. Set ST Point.
The setting for Auto Adjust defines the method of adjusting the ISO and J point locations. Auto Adjust is
enabled by default. In this case, the locations of the ISO point and J point are automatically determined by the
algorithm. When Auto Adjust is disabled, you need to manually adjust the position of the ISO point and J point
using the arrows at the right sides of ISO and J.
■ The ISO point (isoelectric) location shown is relative to the R-wave peak. Position the ISO point in the
middle of the flattest part of the waveform (between the P and Q waves).
■ The J point location is indicated relative to the R-wave peak. Position the J point at the end of the QRS
complex and the beginning of the ST segment.

8 - 18
■ The ST point is positioned a fixed distance from the J point. Position the ST point relative to the J point at
J+60/80ms, J+40ms, J+60ms or J+80ms. When J+60/80ms is selected, the ST point will be positioned 80
ms (heart rate 120 bpm or less) or 60 ms (heart rate more than 120 bpm) from the J point.

8.8 QT/QTc Interval Monitoring


The QT interval is the time between the beginning of the Q-wave and the end of the T-wave. It represents the
total duration of the depolarization (QRS duration) and repolarization (ST-T) phases of the ventricles. QT interval
monitoring can assist in the detection of long QT syndrome.
The QT interval has an inverse relationship to heart rate. Faster heart rates shorten QT interval and slower heart
rates prolong QT interval. Therefore, several formulas are commonly used to correct the QT interval for heart
rate. The heart rate corrected QT interval is abbreviated as QTc.
QT/QTc interval monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.

8.8.1 QT/QTc Monitoring Limitations


Some conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable QT/QTc monitoring, for example:
■ R-wave amplitudes are too low
■ The presence of frequent ventricular ectopic beats
■ RR intervals are unstable
■ P-waves tending to encroach on the end of the previous T-wave at high heart rates
■ The T-wave is very flat or T-wave are not well defined
■ The end of the T-wave is difficult to delineate because of the presence of U-waves
■ QTc measurements are not stable
■ In the presence of noise, asystole, ventricular fibrillation, atrial fibrillation, or ECG lead off
For reliable QT/QTc monitoring, choose lead with good T-wave amplitude and no visible flutter activity, and
without a predominant U-wave or P-wave.
Some conditions such as left or right bundle branch block or ventricular hypertrophy can lead to a widened QRS
complex. If a long QTc is observed you should verify it to ensure that it is not caused by QRS widening.
Because normal beats followed by ventricular beats are not included in the analysis, no QT measurement will be
generated in the presence of a bigeminy rhythm.
If the heart rate is extremely high (over 150 bpm for adults and over 180 bpm for pediatrics and neonates), QT
will not be measured. When the heart rate changes, it can take several minutes for the QT interval to stabilize. For
reliable QTc calculation it is important to avoid measurements when the heart rate is changing.

8.8.2 Enabling QT/QTc Monitoring


The QT monitoring function is disabled by default. Before you start QT monitoring, enable the QT function. To do
so, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the QT tab→ select the Setup tab.
3. Switch on QT Analysis.

8.8.3 Displaying QT Numerics and Segments


To display QT numerics and Segments, follow this procedure:
1. Access Tile Layout by either of the following ways:
◆ Select the Screen Setup quick key → select the Tile Layout tab.
◆ Select Main Menu quick key → from the Display column select Tile Layout.
2. Click the parameter numeric area where you want to display the QT numerics, and then select ECG → QT/
QTc.

8.8.5 Saving the Current QTc as Baseline
In order to quantify changes in the QTc value, you can set a QTc baseline. If no baseline has been set for this
patient within the first five minutes after getting valid QT values, the monitor will automatically set a baseline. To
set the current values as baseline, follow this procedure:
1. From the QT View, select Set Baseline.
2. From the pop-up dialog box, select OK. This baseline will then be used to calculate ΔQTc.

If you set a new baseline the previous baseline is discarded.


From the QT View, you can also perform the following operations:
■ Select the left or right arrow to select a lead label to highlight corresponding waveform.

■ Select Display Baseline or Hide Baseline to display or hide the baseline waveform.

CAUTION
• Updating QTc baseline affects the ΔQTc value and alarm.

8.8.6 Changing QT Settings

8.8.6.1 Setting QT Alarm Properties


To set QT alarm properties, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the QT tab→ select the Alarm tab.
3. Set QTc and ΔQTc alarm properties.

8.8.6.2 Selecting Leads for QT Calculation


You can select one lead or all leads for QT calculation. To do so, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the QT tab→ select the Setup tab.
3. Set QT Leads. All is selected by default. This means all leads are used for QT calculation.

8.9 ECG Relearning


Changes in ECG beat morphology could result in incorrect arrhythmia alarms and/or inaccurate heart rate. ECG
relearning allows the monitor to learn the new dominant beat morphology and thus reduce false arrhythmia
alarms and inaccurate HR values. Once learning is complete, the dominant QRS complex is stored as a reference
template. The reference template is used as the normal morphology of that patient and it is compared with
incoming beats to identify possible arrhythmias.

8.9.1 Auto ECG Relearning


Auto arrhythmia relearning happens in the following situation:
■ The ECG lead type or lead label is changed.
■ ECG leads are off and are not reconnected within 60 seconds.
■ The patient‘s paced status is changed.

8 - 21
8.9.2 Initiating an ECG Relearning Manually
If you suspect that false arrhythmia alarms are presented, you may need to manually initiate an ECG relearn. To
do so, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select Relearn.

CAUTION
• Initiate ECG relearning only during periods of predominantly normal rhythm and when the ECG
signal is relatively noise-free. If ECG learning takes place during arrhythmias, the ectopic beats may
be incorrectly learned as normal QRS complexes. This may result in missed detection of subsequent
arrhythmia events.

8.10 Defibrillation Synchronization Pulse Output


The 12-lead MPM module provides an analog out connector to output synchronization pulses for defibrillators. If
a defibrillator is connected, it receives a synchronization pulse (100 ms, +5 V) through the analog out connector
each time an R-wave is detected. The 3/5/6 lead MPM module does not offer this output.

WARNING
• According to IEC 60601-2-4: 2010, the peak of the synchronized defibrillator discharge should be
delivered within 60 ms of the peak of the R wave. The signal at the ECG output (sync pulse) on the
monitor is delayed by maximum of 30 ms. the biomedical engineer should verify that the ECG/
Defibrillator combination does not exceed recommended maximum delay of 60 ms.
• Before defibrillation, ensure that both defibrillator and monitor have passed the system test and
can be safely used together.

8.11 ECG Troubleshooting


This section lists some of the problems that might be encountered during ECG monitoring. If you encounter

9 Resting 12-Lead ECG Analysis

9.1 Resting 12-Lead ECG Analysis Introduction


The monitor can be configured with the Glasgow 12-lead resting ECG analysis algorithm.The monitor
incorporating the Glasgow algorithm is labelled with the logo of Glasgow as shown in 8.1 ECG Introduction.
The Glasgow algorithm is intended for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.

9.2 Entering the 12-Lead Screen


To enter the 12-Lead screen, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. From the bottom of the ECG dialog, select 12-Lead.

You can also enter the 12-Lead screen by following this procedure:
■ Select the Screen Setup quick key → select the Choose Screen tab → select ECG 12-Lead.
■ Select Main Menu quick key → from the Display column select Choose Screen → select ECG 12-Lead.

NOTE
• The ECG 12-Lead screen is available only when the Glasgow algorithm is configured (associated
module has the Glasgow label) and Lead Set is set to Auto or 12-Lead.

9.3 Initiating Resting 12-Lead ECG Analysis


Before initiating 12-lead ECG analysis, check that all electrodes are correctly connected to the lead wires and the
ECG trunk cable is properly connected. Check that patient information is correct. Keep the patient still.
To initiate 12-Lead ECG analysis, select Analyze from the bottom left of the 12-Lead screen.

9.4 Changing 12-Lead ECG Analysis Settings


On the ECG 12-Lead screen, you can set the high frequency filter, baseline drift removal (BDR) filter, and the

1. On the ECG 12-Lead screen, select the ECG numeric area or waveform area to enter the ECG dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set High-Freq Cut-off.

The high frequency filter is a low-pass filter. That is to say, signal frequencies higher than the set frequency are
filtered out. For example, if you set High-freq Cutoff to 35 Hz, then signal below 35 Hz is kept in the signal and
signal exceeding 35 Hz is attenuated.

9-1
9.4.2 Setting the Baseline Drift Removal Filter
The baseline drift removal (BDR) filter suppresses most baseline drift interference and also is able to preserve the
fidelity of the ST-segment level. BDR is switched on by default. To set the BDR, follow this procedure:

10 Monitoring Impedance Respiration (Resp)

10.1 Resp Introduction


Impedance respiration is measured across the thorax. When the patient is breathing or ventilated, the volume of
air changes in the lungs, resulting in impedance changes between the electrodes. Impedance respiration rate
(RR) is calculated from the signal representing these impedance changes, and a respiration waveform is
displayed on the patient monitor screen.
Impedance respiration monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.
Respiration may also be measured using a CO2 module or anesthetic gas (AG) module. Refer to 10 Monitoring
Impedance Respiration (Resp) and 17 Monitoring Anesthetic Gas (AG) for respiration information specific to those
modules.

10.2 Impedance Resp Safety Information

WARNING
• When monitoring the patient’s impedance respiration, do not use ESU-proof ECG cables. The
monitor cannot measure impedance respiration with ESU-proof ECG cables.
• If you do not set the detection level for the respiration correctly in manual detection mode, it may
not be possible for the monitor to detect zero respiration rate. If you set the detection level too low,
the monitor is more likely to detect cardiac activity, and to falsely interpret cardiac activity as
respiratory activity in case of zero respiration rate.
• The respiration measurement does not recognize the cause of zero respiration rates. It only
indicates an alarm if a pre-adjusted time has elapsed without a breath being detected since the last
detected breath. Therefore, it cannot be used for diagnostic purpose.
• If operating under conditions according to the EMC Standard IEC 60601-1-2 (Radiated Immunity 3V/
m), field strengths above 3V/m may cause erroneous measurements at various frequencies.
Therefore, it is recommended to avoid the use of electrically radiating equipment in close proximity
to the impedance respiration measurement unit.
• The current used to measure impedance respiration may cause rate changes in Minute Ventilation
Rate Responsive Pacemakers. If you suspect the patient monitor is affecting the pacemaker rate
then replace the ECG cable with an ECG cable that contains ESU filters.

CAUTION
• Only use parts and accessories specified in this manual.
• Impedance respiration monitoring is not for use on patients while they are active, as this can cause
false alarms.

NOTE
• If ESU-proof ECG cables are used, the Resp waveform area will display the message “Check Leads”.
Replace the ECG cable if necessary.

10.4 Preparing for Impedance Resp Monitoring

10.4.1 Preparing the Patient


Follow this procedure to prepare the patient:
1. Shave hair from skin at chosen sites.
2. Gently rub skin surface at sites to remove dead skin cells.
3. Thoroughly cleanse the site with a mild soap and water solution.
4. Dry the skin completely before applying the electrodes.

CAUTION
• Proper skin preparation is necessary for good signal quality at the electrode site, as the skin is a poor
conductor of electricity.

10.4.2 Placing the Electrodes


Impedance respiration is acquired using standard ECG electrodes and cables. Either lead I (RA-LA) or lead II (RA-
LL) can be used.
For more information, see 8.4.4 ECG Electrode Placements
.

(1) (2)

(1) Lead I (2) Lead II

10 - 2
CAUTION
• Correct electrode placement can help to reduce interference from cardiac related impedance
changes: avoid including the liver area and the ventricles of the heart between the respiratory
electrodes. This is particularly important for neonates.
• Some patients with restricted movements breathe mainly abdominally. In these cases, you may
need to place the left leg electrode on the left abdomen at the point of maximum abdominal
expansion to optimize the respiratory waveform.
• Some patients (especially neonates) expand their chests laterally, causing a negative intrathoracic
pressure. In these cases, it is better to place the two respiration electrodes in the right midaxillary
and the left lateral chest areas at the patient’s maximum point of the breathing movement to
optimize the impedance respiration waveform.
• To optimize the impedance respiration waveform, place the RA and LA electrodes horizontally when
monitoring respiration with ECG Lead I; place the RA and LL electrodes diagonally when monitoring
respiration with ECG Lead II.
• Periodically inspect electrode application sites to ensure skin integrity. If the skin quality changes,
replace the electrodes or change the application site.

NOTE
• Store the electrodes at room temperature. Open the electrode package immediately prior to use.
• Check that the electrode packages are intact and that the electrodes are not past the expiration
date. Ensure the electrode gel is moist.

10.5 Changing Resp Settings

10.5.1 Setting the Resp Alarm Properties


To set the Resp alarm properties, follow this procedure:
1. Select the Resp numeric area or waveform area to enter the Resp dialog.
2. Select the Alarm tab.
3. Enter the password if required. For more information, refer to 25.13.3 Selecting Password for User Authentica-
tion.
4. Set alarm properties as desired.

10.5.2 Setting the RR Source


To set RR source, follow this procedure:
1. Select the Resp numeric area or waveform area to enter the Resp dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Choose RR Source from the dropdown list.
When you select Auto, the monitor automatically selects the RR source following order of priority: first CO2, and
then ECG. When the manually selected RR source is not available, the monitor automatically switches the RR
Source to Auto.

10.5.3 Choosing the Respiration Lead


To set the respiration lead, follow this procedure:
1. Select the Resp numeric area or waveform area to enter the Resp dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set Resp Lead.
If you cannot get an acceptable impedance Resp waveform or you suspect the veracity of the Resp value after
choosing the Resp lead, you may need to adjust the electrode placement.

10 - 3
10.5.4 Setting the Resp Waveform Size
To set the Resp waveform size, follow this procedure:
1. Select the Resp numeric area or waveform area to enter the Resp dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set Gain.

10.5.5 Setting the Resp Waveform Speed


To set the Resp waveform speed, follow this procedure:
1. Select the Resp numeric area or waveform area to enter the Resp dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set Speed.

10.5.6 Setting the Auto Detection Switch


To set the auto detection switch, follow this procedure:
1. Select the Resp numeric area or waveform area to enter the Resp dialog.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Switch on or off Auto Threshold Detection.
◆ If Auto Threshold Detection is switched on, the monitor automatically adjusts the Resp waveform
detection level, or threshold.
◆ If Auto Threshold Detection is switched off, you have to manually adjust the Resp waveform
threshold. For more information, see 10.5.7 Adjusting the Resp Waveform Detection Threshold.
In the auto threshold detection mode, if you are monitoring Resp and the ECG parameter is switched off, the
monitor cannot compare the heart rate and Resp rates to detect cardiovascular artifact. The respiration
detection level is automatically set higher to prevent the detection of cardiovascular artifact as respiration.
In the manual detection mode (where auto threshold detection is off ), cardiovascular artifact can, in certain
situations, trigger the respiration rate counter. This may lead to a false indication of a high respiration or an
undetected zero respiration rate condition. If you suspect that cardiovascular artifact is being registered as
respiratory activity, raise the detection level above the zone of cardiovascular artifact. If the Resp wave is so small
that raising the detection level is not possible, you may need to optimize the electrode placement.

10.5.7 Adjusting the Resp Waveform Detection Threshold


Use the manual detection mode (where auto threshold detection is off ) in the following situations:
■ The respiration rate and the heart rate are close.
■ Patients have intermittent mandatory ventilation.
■ Respiration is weak. Try repositioning the electrodes to improve the signal.
To set the Resp waveform threshold to the desired level, follow this procedure:
1. Select the Resp numeric area or waveform area to enter the Resp dialog.
2. Select the Threshold tab.
3. Select the up and down arrows below Upper Line and Lower Line to define the Resp waveform threshold.
Once set, the detection level will not adapt automatically to different respiration depths. It is important to
remember that if the depth of breathing changes, you may need to change the detection level.

11 Monitoring Pulse Oxygen Saturation (SpO ) 2

11.1 SpO2 Introduction


Pulse Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) monitoring is a non-invasive technique used to measure the amount of
oxygenated hemoglobin and pulse rate by measuring the absorption of selected wavelengths of light. The light
generated in the emitter side of the probe is partly absorbed when it passes through the monitored tissue. The
amount of transmitted light is detected in the detector side of the probe. When the pulsative part of the light
signal is examined, the amount of light absorbed by the hemoglobin is measured and the pulse oxygen
saturation can be calculated. This device is calibrated to display functional oxygen saturation.
SpO2 monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.
The monitor can be configured with Masimo or Nellcor SpO2 module:
■ Masimo SpO2: the connector is purple with a logo of Masimo SET.
■ Nellcor SpO2: the connector is grey with a logo of Nellcor.
■ Mindray SpO2: the connector is blue without any logo.

NOTE
• The SpO2 extension cable used must be compatible with the SpO2 sensor connectors used. For
example, only connect the Masimo SpO2 extension cable can be connected to the Masimo SpO2
sensor connectors.
• A functional tester or SpO2 simulator can be used to determine the pulse rate accuracy.
• A functional tester or SpO2 simulator cannot be used to assess the SpO2 accuracy.

11.2 SpO2 Safety Information

WARNING
• When a trend toward patient deoxygenation is indicated, analyze the blood samples with a
laboratory co-oximeter to completely understand the patient’s condition.
• Do not use SpO2 sensors during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Induced current could
potentially causes burns. The sensor may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the
accuracy of the oximetry measurements.
• Prolonged continuous monitoring may increase the risk of undesirable changes in skin
characteristics, such as irritation, reddening, blistering or burns. Inspect the sensor site every two
hours and move the sensor if the skin quality changes. Change the application site every four hours.
For neonates, or patients with poor peripheral blood circulation or sensitive skin, inspect the sensor
site more frequently.
• If the sensor is too tight because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema,
excessive pressure for prolonged periods may result in venous congestion distal from the
application site, leading to interstitial edema and tissue ischemia.
• When patients are undergoing photodynamic therapy they may be sensitive to light sources. Pulse
oximetry may be used only under careful clinical supervision for short time periods to minimize
interference with photodynamic therapy.
• Setting alarm limits to extreme values may cause the alarm system to become ineffective. For
example, high oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a
consideration, do not set the high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching off the
alarm.
• SpO2 is empirically calibrated in healthy adult volunteers with normal levels of carboxyhemoglobin
(COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb).

11 - 1
CAUTION
• Change the application site or replace the sensor and/or patient cable when a persistent SpO2 Low
Signal Quality message is displayed on the equipment. These messages may indicate that patient
monitoring time is exhausted on the patient cable or sensor.
• Replace the cable or sensor when a “SpO2 Sensor Off”, “SpO2 No Sensor”, or “SpO2 Low Signal
Quality” message is consistently displayed while monitoring consecutive patients after completing
troubleshooting steps listed in this manual.
• Variation in measurements may be profound and may be affected by sampling technique as well as
the patient's physiological conditions. Any results exhibiting inconsistency with the patient’s clinical
status should be repeated and/or supplemented with additional test data. Blood samples should be
analyzed by laboratory instruments prior to clinical decision making to completely understand the
patient’s condition.
• Use only SpO2 sensors specified in this manual. Follow the SpO2 sensor’s instructions for use and
adhere to all warnings and cautions.

NOTE
• Additional information specific to the Masimo sensors compatible with the equipment, including
information about parameter/measurement performance during motion and low perfusion, may be
found in the sensor's directions for use (DFU).
• Masimo cables and sensors are provided with X-Cal™ technology to minimize the risk of inaccurate
readings and unanticipated loss of patient monitoring. Refer to the Cable or Sensor DFU for the
specified duration of the patient monitoring time.

11.3 SpO2 Measurement Limitations


The following factors may influence the accuracy of SpO2 measurement:
■ Patient physiological characteristics:

◆ Above 1 is optimal.
◆ Between 0.3 and 1 is acceptable.
◆ Below 0.3 indicates low perfusion. Set Sensitivity to Maximum first. Reposition the SpO2 sensor or find a
better site. If low perfusion persists, choose another method to measure oxygen saturation if possible.

NOTE
• PI is displayed for Masimo SpO2 and Mindray SpO2 modules.

11.5 Preparing for SpO2 Monitoring


To prepare to monitor SpO2, follow this procedure:
1. Select an appropriate sensor according to the module type, patient category and weight.
2. Clean the contact surface of the reusable sensor.
3. Remove colored nail polish from the application site.
4. Apply the sensor to the patient according to the instruction for use of the sensor.
5. Select an appropriate extension cable according to the connector type and plug the cable into the SpO2
connector.
6. Connect the sensor to the extension cable.

CAUTION
• Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may severely obstruct
circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements.
• At elevated ambient temperatures, be careful with measurement sites that are not well perfused,
because this can cause burns after prolonged application.

11 - 3
• Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, an NIBP cuff or an intravascular
venous infusion line.
• For neonatal patients, make sure that all sensor connectors and adapter cable connectors are
outside the incubator. The humid atmosphere inside can cause inaccurate measurements.

11.6 Changing the SpO2 Settings

11.6.1 Changing the SpO2 Alarm Settings


To change the SpO2 alarm settings, follow this procedure:
1. Select the SpO2 numeric area or waveform area to enter the SpO2 dialog.
2. Select the Alarm tab.
3. Enter the password if required. For more information, refer to 25.13.3 Selecting Password for User
Authentication.
4. Set the alarm properties as desired.

NOTE
• The desat alarm is a high level alarm notifying you of potentially life threatening drops in oxygen
saturation. When the SpO2 value is below the desat alarm limit and desat alarm switch is set on, the
message “SpO2 Desat” is displayed.
• You can switch off the SpO2 Desat alarm only when the SpO2 Desat Alarm Off is enabled. For more
information, see section 25.3.7.6 Setting the Switch of the SpO2 Desat Alarm Off.

11.6.2 Nellcor SatSecondsTM Alarm Management


With traditional alarm management, high and low alarm limits are set for monitoring oxygen saturation. During
monitoring, once an alarm limit is violated, an audible alarm immediately sounds. When the patient SpO2
fluctuates near an alarm limit, the alarm sounds each time the limit is violated. Such frequent alarms can be
distracting. Nellcor’s SatSeconds alarm management technique is used to reduce these nuisance alarms.
The SatSeconds feature is available with the Nellcor SpO2 to decrease the likelihood of false alarms caused by
motion artifacts. With SatSeconds alarm management, high and low alarm limits are set in the same way as
those with traditional alarm management. A SatSeconds limit is also set. The SatSeconds limit controls the
amount of time that SpO2 saturation may be outside the set limits before an alarm sounds.
The method of calculation is as follows: the percentage points of the SpO2 saturation falling outside the alarm
limit is multiplied by the number of seconds remaining outside the limit. This can be stated as the equation:
SatSeconds = Points × Seconds
Only when the SatSeconds limit is reached, the monitor gives a SatSeconds alarm. For example, the figure below
demonstrates the alarm response time with a SatSeconds limit set at 50 and a low SpO2 limit set at 90%. In this
example, the patient SpO2 drops to 88% (2 points) and remains there for 2 seconds. Then it drops to 86% (4
points) for 3 seconds, and then to 84% (6 points) for 6 seconds. The resulting SatSeconds are:

% SpO2 Seconds SatSeconds

2× 2= 4

4× 3= 12

6× 6= 36

Total SatSeconds= 52

11 - 4
After approximately 11 seconds, a Sat-Second alarm would sound, because the limit of 50 SatSeconds would
have been exceeded.

%SpO2

Seconds

Saturation levels may fluctuate rather than remaining steady for a period of several seconds. Often, the patient
SpO2 may fluctuate above and below an alarm limit, re-entering the non-alarm range several times. During such
fluctuation, the monitor integrates the number of SpO2 points, both positive and negative, until either the
SatSeconds limit is reached, or the patient SpO2 re-enters the non-alarm range and remains there.

NOTE
• The SpO2 Too Low or SpO2 Too High alarm is presented in the case that SpO2 value violates the alarm
limits 3 times within one minute even if the setting of SatSeconds is not reached.

To set the SatSeconds, follow this procedure:


1. Select the SpO2 numeric area or waveform area to enter the SpO2 dialog.
2. Select the Alarm tab.
3. Set Sat-Seconds.

11.6.3 Setting SpO2 Sensitivity (for Masimo SpO2)


For Masimo SpO2, selects the Sensitivity as per signal quality and patient motion.
Normal sensitivity is the recommended for patients who are experiencing some compromise in blood flow or
perfusion. It is advisable for care areas where patients are observed frequently, such as the intensive care unit
(ICU).
Adaptive Probe Off Detection (APOD) sensitivity is the recommended sensitivity mode where there is a high
probability of the sensor becoming detached. It is also the suggested mode for care areas where patients are not
visually monitored continuously. This mode delivers enhanced protection against erroneous pulse rate and
arterial oxygen saturation readings when a sensor becomes inadvertently detached from a patient due to
excessive movement.
Maximum sensitivity is recommended for use on patients with weak signals (e.g. high ambient noise and/or
patients with very low perfusion) and for use during procedures or when clinician and patient contact is
continuous such as in higher acuity settings.The settings of sensitivity in the SpO2 module and SpO2b module
are linked.
To set SpO2 sensitivity, follow this procedure:
1. Select the SpO2 numeric area or waveform area to enter the SpO2 dialog.
2. Select the SpO2 Setup tab.
3. Set Sensitivity to Maximum, Normal, or APOD.

11 - 5
CAUTION
• When using the Maximum Sensitivity setting, performance of "Sensor Off" detection may be
compromised. If the equipment and the sensor becomes detached from the patient, the potential
for false readings may occur due to environmental noise such as light, and vibration.

NOTE
• The settings of sensitivity in the SpO2 module and SpO2b module are linked.

11.6.4 Changing Averaging Time (for Masimo and Mindray SpO2)


The SpO2 value displayed on the monitor screen is the average of data collected within a specific time. The
shorter the averaging time is, the quicker the monitor responds to changes in the patient’s oxygen saturation
level. Contrarily, the longer the averaging time is, the slower the monitor responds to changes in the patient’s
oxygen saturation level, but the SpO2 measurement is more stable. For critically ill patients, selecting a shorter
averaging time will help with understanding the patient’s state.
To set the averaging time, follow this procedure:
1. Select the SpO2 numeric area or waveform area to enter the SpO2 dialog.
2. Select the SpO2 Setup tab.
3. Set Averaging.

11.6.5 Monitoring SpO2 and NIBP Simultaneously


When monitoring SpO2 and NIBP on the same limb simultaneously, you can switch on NIBP Simul to lock the
SpO2 alarm status until the NIBP measurement ends. If you switch off NIBP Simul, low perfusion caused by NIBP
measurement may lead to inaccurate SpO2 readings and therefore cause false physiological alarms.
To set the NIBP Simul, follow this procedure:
1. Select the SpO2 numeric area or waveform area to enter the SpO2 dialog.
2. Select the Alarm tab.
3. Set NIBP Simul.

11.6.6 Changing the Sweep Speed of the Pleth Wave

information, see25.14.3 Setting the SpO2 Tone Mode.

NOTE
• Changing the QRS volume settings in the PR Setup page also changes the QRS volume settings in the
Setup page of the ECG dialog.

11.7.3 Setting the PR Source


Current pulse source is displayed in the PR numeric area if current PR source is not SpO2. The PR from current
pulse source has the following characteristics:
■ PR is stored in the monitor’s database and can be reviewed in the graphic and tabular trends.In graphic
trends, as the PR curve has the same color as that of current PR source.
■ PR is sent via the network to the CMS, if available.
To set which parameter is used as a PR source, follow this procedure:
1. Select the SpO2 numeric area or waveform area to enter the SpO2 dialog.
2. Select the PR Setup tab.

12 Monitoring Temperature (Temp)

12.1 Temperature Introduction


The monitor can continuously monitor the patient’s skin temperature and core temperature. Thermally sensitive
resistors (thermistors) are used, and are based on the principle that electrical resistance of the thermistor
changes as temperature changes. The resistance change of the thermistors is used to calculate the temperature.
Up to two temperature sites can be monitored simultaneously and the difference between two measured sites is
calculated.
Temperature monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.

12.2 Temperature Safety Information


CAUTION
• Verify that the probe detection program works correctly before monitoring. Remove the
temperature probe cable from the temperature probe connector, and check that the monitor can
display the alarm messages and give alarm tones correctly.

13 Monitoring Noninvasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)

13.1 NIBP Introduction


The monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP). NIBP
measurement is based on the principle that pulsatile blood flow through an artery creates oscillations of the
arterial wall. The oscillometric device uses a blood pressure cuff to sense these oscillations that appear as tiny
pulsations in cuff pressure. The oscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes in the
occluding cuff as the cuff deflates from above systolic pressure. The amplitude suddenly increases as the pulse
breaks through the occlusion in the artery. As the cuff pressure decreases further, the pulsations increase in
amplitude, reach a maximum (which approximates to the mean pressure), and then diminish. The oscillometric
method measures the mean pressure and determines the systolic and diastolic pressures.
NIBP monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.

NOTE
• Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a
trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method or an intra-arterial blood pressure
measurement device, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard: manual,
electronic, or automated sphygmomanometers.
• NIBP measurement can be performed during electro-surgery and discharge of a defibrillator.

13.2 NIBP Safety Information

WARNING
• Be sure to select the correct patient category setting for your patient before NIBP measurement. Do
not apply the higher adult settings for pediatric or neonatal patients. Otherwise, it may present a
safety hazard.
• Do not measure NIBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or on the limb where skin damage has
occurred or is expected.
• Use clinical judgment to determine whether to perform frequent unattended blood pressure
measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in
the limb fitted with the cuff.
• Do not use the NIBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter in place. This
could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff
inflation.
• Do not apply cuff on the arm on the side of a mastectomy.
• Continuous cuff pressure due to connection tubing kinking may cause blood flow interference and
result in harmful injury to the patient.
• NIBP reading can be affected by the measurement site, the position of the patient, exercise, or the
patient's physiologic condition. If you doubt the NIBP measurements, determine the patient’s vital
signs by alternative means, and then verify that the monitor is working correctly.
• Devices that exert pressure on tissue have been associated with purpura, ischemia, and neuropathy.
Inspect the application site regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the cuffed
limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If the skin quality changes, or if the extremity
circulation is being affected, move the cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure measurements
immediately. Check more frequently when making automatic or STAT measurements. Auto NIBP
measurements with one and two minute intervals are not recommended for extended periods of
time.
• Do not modify or replace connectors of the NIBP air hose except with mindray-approved connectors.
Use neonatal and infant cuffs with CM1901 hoses only. Use pediatric/adult cuffs with CM1903 hoses
only.

13 - 1
• Never connect intra-arterial or intra-venous lines, or any other incompatible connectors to the NIBP
hose. This can cause serious injury or death.
• NIBP diagnostic significance must be decided by the hospital’s clinician staff.

CAUTION
• Only use parts and accessories specified in this manual. Follow the instructions for use and adhere to
all warnings and cautions.
• Accuracy of NIBP measurement depends on using a cuff of proper size. It is essential to measure limb
circumference and choose a cuff with proper size.

13.3 NIBP Measurement Limitations


Measurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 30 bpm or greater than 300 bpm, or if the
patient is on a heart-lung machine. The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible in the following
situations:
■ Regular arterial pressure pulses are hard to detect
■ Excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions
■ Cardiac arrhythmias
■ Rapid blood pressure changes
■ Severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries
■ On an edematous extremity
■ Obesity, where a thick layer of fat surrounding a limb dampens the oscillations coming from the artery

NOTE
• The effectiveness of this sphygmomanometer has not been established in pregnant women,
including pre-eclamptic patients.

13.4 Measurement Modes


There are three NIBP measurement modes:
■ Manual: measurement on demand.
■ Auto: repeated measurements at set interval.
■ STAT: continual rapid series of measurements over a five minute period.
■ Sequence: continually automatic measurement at set durations and intervals.

13.5 NIBP Display

• NIBP numerics in black color with a light outline indicate that the measurement is old and exceeds
the configured NIBP Measurement Timeout time (see section 25.5.5 Setting Parameter Measurement
Timeout). These NIBP values are not recommended for reference.

13.6 Preparing for NIBP Measurements

13.6.1 Preparing the Patient for NIBP Measurements


In normal use, perform NIBP measurement on a patient who is in the following position:
■ Comfortably seated
■ Legs uncrossed
■ Feet flat on the floor
■ Back, arm and feet supported

NOTE
• It is recommended that the patient remains calm and relaxes as much as possible before performing
the measurement and that the patient does not talk during the measurement.
• Other factors that have been shown to result in an overestimation of blood pressure are labored
breathing, full bladder, pain etc.

13.6.2 Placing the NIBP Cuff


To place the NIBP cuff, follow this procedure:
1. Verify that the patient category setting is correct.
2. Connect the air tubing to the NIBP connector on the MPM module.
3. Select an appropriately sized cuff for the patient, and then wrap it around the limb directly over the
patient’s skin as follows:
a Determine the patient’s limb circumference.
b Select an appropriate cuff by referring to the limb circumference marked on the cuff. The width of the
cuff should be 40% (50% for neonates) of the limb circumference, or 2/3 of the length of the upper
arm or the thigh. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle to overlap at least
50% to 80% of the limb.
c Apply the cuff to the patient’s upper arm or leg and make sure the Φ marking on the cuff matches the
artery location. The cuff should fit snugly, but with enough room for two fingers to be placed
between the cuff and the patient’s arm (on adults), and loosely on neonates with little or no air
present within the cuff. Otherwise it may cause discoloration and ischemia of the extremities. Make
sure that the cuff index line falls within the range markings on the cuff. If it does not, use a cuff that fits
better.

13 - 3
d Middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium of the heart. If it is not, use the
measurement correction formula to correct the measurement. For more information, see
13.8.7 Setting the NIBP Display Format.

4. Connect the cuff to the air tubing. Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes. Air must pass
unrestricted through the tubing.

CAUTION
• Do not touch or apply external pressure against the cuff and air tubing during NIBP measurement.
This may cause inaccurate blood pressure values.
• Use care when placing the cuff on an extremity used for monitoring other patient parameters.

14.3.3 Zeroing the IBP transducer
To avoid inaccurate pressure readings, the monitor requires a valid zero. Zero the transducer in accordance with
your hospital policy. The IBP transducer should be zeroed in the following conditions:
■ The IBP transducer, adapter cable or module is reconnected.
■ The monitor restarts.
■ The readings are in doubt.
■ The monitor displays the prompt message Zero Required.

To zero the transducer, follow this procedure:


1. Connect the IBP transducer, the IBP adapter cable and the module.
2. Turn off the three-way valve (the one near the transducer) to the patient, in order to vent the transducer to
the atmospheric pressure.
3. Zero the transducer by one of the following methods:
◆ Press the Zero hard key on the module. In the Zero IBP dialog, select to zero an IBP, or select to zero
all IBP.
◆ Select the numeric area (such as the Art numeric area), and then select Zero button.
◆ Select the IBP Zero quick key. In the Zero IBP dialog, select to zero an IBP, or select to zero all IBP.
4. After the zero calibration is completed, close the three-way valve to the air and open the three-way valve to
the patient.

Zero calibration may fail in case of pressure fluctuation or pressure exceeding the calibration range. If zero
calibration fails, follow this procedure:
1. Check that the three-way valve (the one near the transducer) is open to the air.
2. Perform zero calibration again. Do not sway the IBP transducer and tubing during zero calibration.

ICP transducer. For more information, see 14.4.1 Zeroing the Codman ICP transducer. If the target monitor does
not support the Codman ICP transducer, do not use it for ICP monitoring.
If the target monitor supports the Codman ICP transducer, follow this procedure to transport the patient:
1. Disconnect the ICP adapter cable from the measurement module, or remove the module from the monitor.
2. Connect the ICP adapter cable, measurement module, and the target monitor, or insert the measurement
module into the target monitor.
3. Check that the zero reference value displayed on the monitor is consistent with that recorded on the ICP
transducer.
◆ Consistent: select Accept.
◆ Inconsistent: input the zero reference value recorded on the ICP transducer, and select Accept.

CAUTION
• If monitors of different brands are used to zero the Codman ICP transducer, the zero reference
values can be different. Use a Mindray monitor to Zero the Codman ICP transducer if you will take
ICP measurement using a Mindray monitor. Otherwise the ICP measurement could be inaccurate.

14.5 IBP Display


The IBP measurement is displayed on the monitor as a waveform and numeric pressures. For arterial pressure,
the IBP numeric area displays systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and mean pressure. For venous pressure, the
IBP numeric area displays only the mean pressure. The figure below shows the waveform and numerics for the

WARNING
• This monitor can calculate PPV from beat-to-beat values of any arterial pulsatile pressure. The
circumstances under which the calculation of a PPV value is clinically meaningful, appropriate and
reliable must be determined by a physician.
• The clinical value of the derived PPV information must be determined by a physician. According to
recent scientific literature, the clinical relevance of PPV information is restricted to sedated patients
receiving controlled mechanical ventilation and mainly free from cardiac arrhythmia.
• PPV calculation may lead to inaccurate values in the following situations:
◆ at respiration rates below 8 rpm
◆ during ventilation with tidal volumes lower than 8 ml/kg
◆ for patients with acute right ventricular dysfunction (cor pulmonale).
• The PPV measurement has been validated only for adult patients.

14.7 PAWP
Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure (PAWP) values, used to assess cardiac function, are affected by fluid status,
myocardial contractility, and valve and pulmonary circulation integrity.
Obtain the measurement by introducing a balloon-tipped pulmonary artery flotation catheter into the
pulmonary artery. When the catheter is in one of the smaller pulmonary arteries, the inflated balloon occludes
the artery allowing the monitor to record changes in the intrathoracic pressures that occur throughout the
respiration cycle.
The pulmonary wedge pressure is the left ventricular end diastolic pressure when the airway pressure and valve
function are normal. The most accurate PAWP values are obtained at the end of the respiration cycle when the
intrathoracic pressure is fairly constant and the artifact caused by respiration is minimal.

WARNING
• PAWP monitoring is not intended for neonatal patients.

2. Wedge the flotation catheter into the pulmonary artery by observing the PA waveform changes on the
screen, referring to the following figure.

3. Select Start.
4. Inflate the balloon and pay attention to PA waveform changes on the screen when the prompt message
Ready For Balloon Deflation appears.
5. Deflate the balloon when the prompt message Ready For Balloon Deflation appears. If the PA waveform
is stable, but the monitor is still not showing the prompt message Ready For Balloon Deflation, select
Freeze to freeze the waveform, and deflate the balloon.
6. Select Accept to save the PAWP value.
7. If you need to start a new measurement, repeat step 3 to step 6.

If the measurement fails or you need to adjust the PAWP value, you can use the following buttons to adjust the
PAWP waveform and measurement.
■ Select the up or down arrow button to adjust the PAWP value.
■ Select the left or right arrow button to view the frozen waveforms of 40 seconds.
■ Select Accept to save the PAWP value.

14 - 9
WARNING
• Prolonged inflation can cause pulmonary hemorrhage, infarction or both. Inflate the balloon for the
minimum time necessary to get an accurate measurement.
• If the PAWP is greater than the PA (systolic), deflate the balloon and report the incident in
accordance with hospital policy. Because the pulmonary artery could be accidentally ruptured, and
the PAWP value derived will not reflect the patient’s hemodynamic state, but will merely reflect the
pressure in the catheter or balloon.
• If the flotation/thermodilution catheter drifts into the wedge position without inflation of the
balloon, the PA waveform assumes a wedged appearance. Take appropriate action, in accordance
with standard procedures, to correct the situation.

NOTE
• The PA alarm is turned off automatically when the monitor enters the PAWP screen.

15 Monitoring Cardiac Output (C.O.)

15.1 C.O. Introduction


The cardiac output (C.O.) measurement invasively measures cardiac output and other hemodynamic parameters
using the right heart (atria) thermodilution method. A cold solution of known volume and temperature is
injected into the right atrium through the proximal port of a pulmonary artery (PA) catheter. The cold solution
mixes with the blood in the right ventricle and the change in blood temperature is measured with a thermistor
at the distal end of the catheter in the pulmonary artery. The temperature change is displayed as a curve on the
C.O. split screen, and the monitor calculates the C.O. value from this curve. The C.O. value is inversely
proportional to the area under the curve. As cardiac output varies continuously, a series of measurements must
be carried out to achieve a reliable C.O. average value. Always use the average of multiple thermodilution
measurements for therapy decisions. The monitor is capable of storing 6 measurements.
C.O. monitoring is intended for adult patients only.
You can monitor C.O. using the built-in C.O. module or the external C.O. module.
The following picture shows the external C.O. module.

16 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

16.1 CO2 Introduction


CO2 monitoring is a continuous, non-invasive technique for determining the concentration of CO2 in the
patient’s airway by measuring the absorption of infrared (IR) light of specific wavelengths. CO2 has its own
absorption characteristic and the amount of light passing the gas probe depends on the concentration of the
measured CO2. When a specific band of IR light passes through respiratory gas samples, some of IR light will be
absorbed by the CO2 molecules. The amount of IR light transmitted after it has been passed through the
respiratory gas sample is measured with a photodetector. From the amount of IR light measured, the
concentration of CO2 is calculated.
CO2 measurement is used to monitor the patient’s respiratory status. The following two methods are used for
measuring CO2:
■ Mainstream CO2 measurement
Directly insert a CO2 sensor into the patient's breathing system.
■ Sidestream/Microstream CO2 measurement
Take a sample of the respiratory gas with a constant sample flow from the patient's airway and analyzes it
with a remote CO2 sensor built into the Sidestream or Microstream CO2 module.
The sidestream CO2 module can be configured with a paramagnetic oxygen sensor to measure O2. The
paramagnetic oxygen sensor measures oxygen based on its paramagnetic properties.
The mainstream CO2 measurement can be used, with specified accessories, with intubated adult, pediatric and
neonatal patients. The sidestream and microstream CO2 measurement can be used, with specified accessories,
with intubated and non-intubated adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. With intubated patients, a sample of
the respiratory gas is drawn from the patient's breathing circuit through an airway adapter and a gas sampling
line. With non-intubated patients, the gas sample is drawn through a nasal cannula.
CO2 monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.

17 Monitoring Anesthetic Gas (AG)

17.1 AG Introduction
The anesthetic gas (AG) module measures the patient’s anesthetic and respiratory gases by connecting to the
airway of intubated patients or collecting the gases with specified accessories. It also incorporates the features
of the O2 module.
The AG module determines the concentration of certain gases using the infrared (IR) light absorption
measurement. The gases that can be measured by the AG module absorbing IR light. Each gas has its own
absorption characteristic. The gas is transported into a sample cell, and an optical IR filter selects a specific band
of IR light to pass through the gas. For multiple gas measurements, there are multiple IR filters. The higher the
concentration of gas in a given volume, the more IR light is absorbed. This means that higher concentration of IR
absorbing gas causes a lower transmission of IR light. The amount of IR light transmitted after it has been passed
through an IR absorbing gas is measured. From the amount of IR light measured, the concentration of gas
present can be calculated.
Oxygen does not absorb IR light as other breathing gases and is therefore measured relying on its paramagnetic
properties. Inside the O2 sensor are two nitrogen-filled glass spheres mounted on a strong rare metal taut-band
suspension. This assembly is suspended in a symmetrical non-uniform magnetic field. In the presence of
paramagnetic oxygen, the glass spheres are pushed further away from the strongest part of the magnetic field.
The strength of the torque acting on the suspension is proportional to the oxygen concentration. From the
strength of the torque, the concentration of oxygen is calculated.
AG monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.
You can monitor AG using the external AG module.
The following picture shows the external AG module.

17.2 AG Safety Information

WARNING
• To avoid explosion hazard, do not use flammable anesthetic agent such as ether and cyclopropane
for this equipment.
• Using high-frequency electrosurgical units may increase the risk of skin burn. In this case, do not use
antistatic or conductive respiratory tubing.
• Route all tubing away from the patient’s throat to avoid strangulation.

CAUTION
• Perform the measurement in a well-ventilated environment.
• EtCO2 values measured from the AG module may differ from that of from the blood gas analysis.

NOTE
• The AG module automatically suppresses physiological alarms until breathing waves have been
detected. Make sure that a patient is properly connected when monitoring with the AG module.

17.3 AG Measurement Limitations


The following factors may influence the measurement accuracy:
■ Leaks or internal venting of sampled gas
■ Mechanical shock
■ Cyclic pressure up to 10 kPa (100 cmH2O)
■ Other sources of interference, if any

17.4 AG Display

The AG module can send waves and numerics for all measured anesthetic gases for display on the monitor,
including:
■ CO2, O2, N2O and AA waves
■ awRR: airway respiratory rate
■ MAC: minimum alveolar concentration
■ End tidal (Et) and fraction of inspired (Fi) numerics for CO2, O2, N2O and AA

AA represents one of the following agents: Des (desflurane), Iso (isoflurane), Enf (enflurane), Sev (sevoflurane), or
Hal (halothane).

17 - 2
If only one anesthetic agent is used, the AA waveform area displays the waveform of this anesthetic agent. If
several anesthetic agents are used, the AA waveform area displays the waveform of the primary anesthetic
agent.

17.6 Preparing for AG Monitoring


To prepare to monitor AG, follow this procedure:
1. Select the appropriate gas sample line and watertrap according to the patient category.
2. Connect the watertrap to the AG module, and connect the gas sample line to the watertrap.
3. Connect the other end of the gas sample line to the patient via the airway adapter.
4. Connect the gas outlet to a scavenging system or the patient respiration circuit using an exhaust tube.
5. Check that the connections are tight.

After the AG module is connected to the SMR, the AG module enters the measurement mode by default and the
monitor prompts AG Starting. AG measurement is available after the start-up is completed.

WARNING
• When using the AG module, connect the gas outlet to the scavenging system or the patient
respiration circuit when in use with the Mindray A7 anesthesia machine.
• Make sure that the connections are tight. Any leak in the system can result in erroneous readings
due to ambient air mixing with patient gases.
• Always inspect the airway adapter for a tight connection and proper operation before attaching it to
the patient.
• Squeezing or bending the gas sample line during AG measurement may cause erroneous readings
or no readings.

CAUTION
• Position the airway adapter so that the part connecting to the gas sample line is pointing upwards.
This prevents condensed water from passing into the gas sample line and causing an occlusion.

17 - 3
• The watertrap collects water drops condensed in the sample line and therefore prevents them from
entering the module. To avoid blocking the airway, empty the watertrap container whenever half
full.
• The watertrap has a filter preventing bacterium, water and secretions from entering the module.
After long-term use, dust or other substances may compromise the performance of the filter or even
block the airway. In this case, replace the watertrap. Replacing the watertrap once a month is
recommended.

NOTE
• Do not apply adult watertrap to the neonatal patient. Otherwise, patient injury could result.
• To extend the lifetime of the watertrap and module, disconnect the watertrap from the module and
set the operating mode to Standby when AG monitoring is not required.

17.7 MAC Values


Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) is the minimum concentration of the agent in the alveoli. It is a basic
index to indicate the depth of anesthesia. The standard ISO 80601-2-55 defines MAC as this: alveolar
concentration of an inhaled anesthetic agent that, in the absence of other anesthetic agents and at equilibrium,
prevents 50% of patients from moving in response to a standard surgical stimulus.
MAC values are listed below:

Agent Des Iso Enf Sev Hal N2O

1 MAC 6% 1.15% 1.7% 2.1% 0.77% 105%*

* indicates 1 MAC nitrous oxide can only be reached in hyperbaric chamber.

NOTE
• The MAC values shown in the table above are those published by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration for a healthy 40-year-old adult male patient.
• In actual applications, the MAC value may be affected by age, weight and other factors.

The formula to calculate the MAC value is as follows:


N–1
EtAgent
MAC =  -------------------------------------
AgentVol age i
i=0
Where N is the number of all agents (including N2O) that the AG module can measure, EtAgenti is the
concentration of each agent, and AgentVolagei is the concentration of each agent at 1 MAC with age correction.
The formula for calculating age correction of 1 MAC is:
( – 0.00269 × ( age – 40 ) )
MAC age = MAC 40 × 10
For example, the Des concentration at 1 MAC of a 60-year old patient is.
( – 0.00269 × ( 60 – 40 ) )
6% × 10 = 6% × 0.88
The AG module measures 4% of Des, 0.5% of Hal and 50% of N2O in the patient’s end-tidal gas:
MAC = ----------------------- 0.5% - + -----------------------------
4.0% - + -------------------------------- 50% - = 2.04
6% × 0.88 0.77% × 0.88 105% × 0.88
NOTE
• The formula above is only suitable for patients who are older than one year. If the patient is less than
one year, the system uses one year old to do age correction.

For the details of the intubation mode, see 7.13 Intubation Mode.

17.8.8 Enabling or Disabling MAC Display


Set whether MAC value is displayed in the AG numeric area by following this procedure:
1. Select the AG numeric area or waveform area to enter the Gas dialog.
2. Select the desired anesthetic agent tab.
3. Switch on or off MAC.

17.9 Changing the Anesthetic Agent


When the anesthetic agent used on the patient is changed, the AG module detects the mixed anesthetic gas
during the transition of two anesthetic agents. The time required for completing the replacement of anesthetic
agent depends on anesthesia type (low flow or high flow) and the characteristics of anesthetic agents
(pharmacokinetics). During the transition of two anesthetic agents, the monitor gives no prompt messages and
the MAC value displayed may be inaccurate.
The AG module can identify two anesthetic agents automatically. When the proportion of primary and
secondary anesthetic agents in the mixture changes, the AG module can distinguish between them according to
their contributions to the MAC value. Then primary and secondary anesthetic agents will be exchanged for
display.

17.10 Performing AG Leakage Test


The AG leakage test is required every time before the AG measurement. To perform the AG leakage test, follow
this procedure:
1. Plug the AG module into the module rack.
2. Wait for about one minute until the AG module warms up. Completely block the gas inlet of the AG
module. Then the alarm message “AG Airway Occluded” will appear on the screen.
3. Block the gas inlet for another one minute.
4. Select the Main Menu quick key → from the System column select Maintenance → input the required
password → select .
5. Select the Module tab → AG tab.
6. Check that the current flow rate is less than 10 ml/min, and the alarm message “AG Airway Occluded” does
not disappear.

17 - 6
This indicates that the module does not leak. If the alarm message disappears, or the flow rate is equal to
10ml/min or greater, it indicates that the module leaks. Perform the leakage test again. If the problem
remains, contact your service personnel for help.

17.11 Calibrating the AG Module


Calibrate the AG module every year or when the measured value is outside the specification. To calibrate the AG
module, contact the service personnel.

CAUTION
• Connect the gas outlet to the scavenging system when calibrating the AG module.

17.12 AG Troubleshooting
If the AG airway is occluded, the message AG Airway Occluded appears. In this case, check for the follows until
the message disappears:
1. Check the airway adapter for occlusion and replace if necessary.
2. Check the sample line for occlusion or kinking and replace if necessary.
3. Check the watertrap for water or occlusion. Empty the watertrap, or replace the watertrap if necessary.
4. Check the gas outlet and the exhaust tube for any occlusion.

If the message does not disappear, it is probably the module fault. Contact the service personnel in this case.

NOTE
• For the physiological and technical alarm messages, see Appendix D Alarm Messages.

19 Clinical Assistive Applications (CAA)

The Clinical Assistive Applications (CAA) function integrates some commonly used clinical guidelines and tools
into the monitor. It puts the currently monitoring parameter measurements together and provides
comprehensive analysis results.
CAA can improve the clinician’s working efficiency. However, it is not directly used for diagnosis and cannot not
replace the clinician’s judgement.

19.1 Early Warning Score (EWS)


The Early Warning Scores (EWS) can help you recognize the early sign of deterioration in patients based on vital
signs and clinical observations. Depending on the score calculated, appropriate recommendations are
displayed.
The monitor supports the following scores:
■ MEWS (Modified Early Warning Score)
■ NEWS (National Early Warning Score)
■ NEWS2 (National Early Warning Score 2)
■ Custom Score
A subscore is given for each parameter based on the measured or entered value. When all the required
parameters are entered or measured, the subscores are added together to calculate the total early warning
score. Each subscore has a color coding to indicate associated level of risk, When the total score is outside of the
thresholds, actions are recommended. MEWS, NEWS and NEWS2 can give total scores.
Custom Score is based on user-defined parameters.
MEWS, NEWS and NEWS2 are intended for adult patients only. The patient category applied to the Custom Score
is defined by Mindray Clinical Score Configuration Tool. For more information, see Mindray Clinical Scoring Config
Tool Instruction for Use (P/N: 046-012986-00).

WARNING
• The EWS scores and recommended actions are for reference only and cannot be directly used for
diagnostic interpretation.
• EWS cannot be used as an prognosis index. It is not a clinical judgement tool. Clinicians must use
their clinical judgement in conjunction with the EWS tool at all times.
• MEWS and NEWS are intended for adult patients only. NEWS is not applicable to pregnant woman
and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patients.

NOTE
• The EWS scores does not trigger any alarms and cannot used for continuous monitoring.
